Chatham-Kent Tourism is proud to announce BrewFest CK is a finalist for a Culinary Tourism Award of Excellence award to be handed out as part of the Ontario Tourism Awards of Excellence.
CK Tourism nominated BrewFest CK for the Culinary Tourism Event of the Year award, and the event has been listed as a finalist.
"We are super excited and thrilled to hear that we have been named as a finalist for the TIAO Tourism award for Culinary Tourist Event of The Year in Ontario,” said Denny Vervaet, Co-Owner of Red Barn Brewing Co. “BrewFest CK is a collaborative effort between all four Chatham-Kent Breweries that work hard to create four exciting Fests each summer at each location that includes food trucks, local vendors, local businesses, local and national entertainment and talent while celebrating beer and our local communities. Next year we will be launching our fourth BrewFest and we can't wait to see everyone back again!"
“We are extremely proud of BrewFest CK being named a finalist for Culinary Event of the Year,” says Shannon Paiva, Chatham-Kent’s Supervisor of Tourism Development. “This event is so unique due to the collaboration of our four breweries, bringing visitors to the area and elevating the local economy on four separate occasions. It’s incredible to see their efforts recognized.”
Winners will be announced at the Tourism Industry Association of Ontario Tourism Summit on October 23 in Hamilton. More information about the conference and the awards can be found at www.tiaontario.ca/cpages/2024-finalists-winners
